Could The Edge be one of the 5 greatest guitarists of all time? - Page 2

Eddie Van Halen at #70 is a much bigger travesty than Edge being at #24....and I loooove Edge, but Eddie has to be top ten, if not #2!

Van Halen cannot play a clean chord like The Edge does.

My top 3 ,

01 John Frusciante ( the man`s a genius )
02 The Edge ( same goes for him...genius )
03 Jimmy Hendrix ( absolute genius too )

No one comes near these three.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

I would not even place Edge in the Top 25.

Edge is a new kind of guitar hero...

The Edge and Charlie Burchill are Top 5. It's not about being fast. It's all about creativity, moods and textures.

LemonMelon · 09-01-2008, 02:14 PM

Honestly, I've never heard anything that makes John Frusciante stand out as a guitarist. Maybe, like Edge, it's not so much his technical skill that makes him special, but I don't like the songs much either.

lazarus · 09-01-2008, 02:21 PM

Stephen Malkmus not being on that RS list is a travesty. I'm not saying he's Top 5 material or anything, but to me he's the best around still making decent music.

Aside from Mercy what has Edge even done in the last 10 years that's very noteworthy or fresh?
